Yeah - Horntoad, I would use it that way too. I also look at Dave's (which I seem to gather this site is a response to?) and Cornell's "Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners" (which is down for maintenance right now) - which I really like and use a lot as it's part of a University/Extension Service (but helped by the public) - but it does not review companies - or have anything but veges.
I looked at Daggawalla too - interesting stuff but not the site I was looking for. It's one of those ethnobotanical sites. I find them interesting but they usually stress the medicinal rather than the botanical. I often find all sorts of botanical misinformation at these places - not necessarily Daggawalla however as they seem a lot better in this regard. Though they do seem a bit strange in not using Credit Cards (or debit for that matter) or Paypal, which I assume is for some activist purpose. A great bread baker here did that too, but eventually succumbed to big business and started accepting them. I consider it a way to pay for record-keeping myself (but maybe its the big banks that these people are against and not the service charge - which I understand!).
Victory seeds (which I found here) has a species I may try though. It's not the one either. The place may have gone away? Seemed that it may also have had succulents and bamboo too - though I may be mixing up my crazed obsessive searches... I found out how to save a whole set of tabs in my browser now - so it should not happen again. I do remember closing everything thinking I already have WAY too many seeds and plants to grow! I still see some frozen, snow-covered pots in my yard now that never made it to a garden!
Now I just want to find that site - I don't even care what if what I was looking for is offered anymore! I have way too many seeds right now - and soon will have way too many plants again!
